# Gros Piton Hike with Dannyboy & Co.

**Guidekin's take:** Climb the steep, forested trail up Gros Piton on a private tour for your party. Hotel or port transfers, water and a beer afterwards are included; the forestry guide is coordinated separately from your driver, and a regulatory charge is payable on site. 4.72 from 227 reviews at €82 per person for 5h.

**Gros Piton hikers:** Choose Hotels/Villas Southwest-Souf for a steep Gros Piton hike with transfers: €82 per person, 5h, minimum two people; regulatory charge due on site. Trade-off: Moderate fitness required; entry fee payable on site. (last checked October 7, 2026)

In our comparison: #29 of 32 in Pitons & Soufrière Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

It's only a 4-mile walk up and down the tree-covered symbol of Saint Lucia- that is, up a winding trail that climbs the steep, rain forest-covered slopes of a 2,619 foot volcanic mountain. Periodically, the trees give way to breathtaking vistas of the emerald-green island and the too-blue waters of the Caribbean. Guides are mandatory, but full of knowledge. The caves once used as shelters by freedom fighters of the Brigand war, brightly colored tropical birds and lush vegetation that includes giant gommiers (used to make canoes), the smaller swizzlestick tree ( used to make swizzle sticks) and "peeling tourists" - trees with flaky brown bark that looks painfully familiar to anyone who's fallen asleep on the beach without sunblock.
